Displacement is fast, but obviously not as fast as a reyes renderer or arnold. Hair rendering has also improved lately, and motionblur and dof are okay. Nowhere near arnold but way faster than mental ray. The thing to note about vray is that it requires a bit more knowledge about its inner workings to be able to get the most of it. But it's an extremely stable and reliable renderer. Also on the plus side it handles interiors extremely well, and its ibl tools are stellar. Don't get me wrong, i am not afilliated with chaos group in any way even though i was on the beta. It's just my personal view on the engine. I'm sure arnold's algorithms will improve with time, and when it starts being less prohibitive , vray will have quite some heavy competition on the freelance/small studio front. For that matter Redshift looks extremely promising as well. But for the past couple of years, vray gave me the piece of mind i never had with mentalray, and i'm thankful to the peeps at chaos group for that.
